Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery is a type of surgical specialty that is used to reconstruct (repair) and correct the shape of human organs.
Plastic surgery is divided into two categories: reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery.
Reconstructive surgery is performed to repair a burn or improve body function, and cosmetic surgery is performed to improve the appearance and beauty of the body.
These two techniques are used all over the world.

who is Plastic Surgeon?

A plastic surgeon can improve the shape and form of body parts such as the face, ears, abdomen, hands, and buttocks and combine them with ideal beauty.

A plastic surgeon is someone who, after completing a general medicine course, spends four years in a specialized general surgery course and then trains in a subspecialty plastic and cosmetic surgery course for at least three years.
During these three years, the plastic surgeon cooperates with many professors of plastic surgery in performing plastic and cosmetic surgeries in order to gain the necessary experience, and finally, after passing these courses, he/she will be succeeded in obtaining the above degree in plastic and cosmetic surgery.

Cosmetic surgery is one of the most important branches of plastic surgery and focuses entirely on the patient’s appearance.

Scope of practice of Plastic Surgery

The work of a plastic surgeon is much more extensive than that of a cosmetic surgeon.
The cosmetic surgeon performs a familiar and tangible aspect of the plastic surgeon’s work.
A cosmetic surgeon focuses on the appearance and beauty of people, but a plastic surgeon, in addition to improving the natural appearance of people, is used to repair the appearance of a person after a serious accident or to leave behind cancer or other diseases.
A plastic surgeon usually treats all parts of the body, and many doctors who are plastic surgeons specialize in a specific part of the body, such as the head and neck or arms.
Plastic surgeons work on all the problems caused by various diseases in different parts of the body, but they do not specialize in that disease as much as the specialist in that disease.
Therefore, the plastic surgeon does this in collaboration with other physicians in a multi-disciplinary group.
A plastic surgeon acquires specialized knowledge and skills such as how to design a skin graft or perform a flap graft.
The plastic surgeon also learns how to move tissue from one part of the body to another, how to manage complex wounds, and how to use implants such as metal or plastic.
